Unfortunately this does not reflect the truth. Developers have had more proposals approved than knocked back (particularly in recent years), it is the developers that are holding back development of the site and somehow still shifting the blame to a nebulous group of North Adelaidians, that are neither representative of the local population, or more importantly actually have any say in the matter!pushbutton wrote:It's got beyond a joke with that site. I pretty much agree with what was suggested in the Advertiser.
The site has become significant to Adelaide in its current state and should be preserved and heritage listed. It's a monument to the great Adelaide tradition of missed opportunities.
They should install a sign at the front of it with details of all the various proposals that have been knocked back over the years.
It's interesting (but not surprising) from the comments on The Advertiser that people don't actually read the contents of the article which (ignoring a bit of sensationalism) effectively outlines what I have said above and seem to instead believe that the North Adelaide Society is singlehandedly blocking all developments to the site.
It seems like the readership of the Advertiser are more interested in seeing their comments posted on a website then actually reading and analysing the facts.
